The pre and post-game hype will focus on Florida State's Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston and Auburn's finalist, running back Tre Mason. NFL scouts, however, won't forget the impact made by a pair of "undersized" defenders who early on looked like MVP candidates in this game.

Auburn isn't going to apologize for its dramatic win against Georgia, and the Tigers certainly aren't giving it back. At 10-1 and in the middle of an impressive turnaround, Auburn turns its focus to Alabama and the Iron Bowl.
